Thank you to the 'good Samaritans' left in this community

On Jan. 17, I fell in my driveway on South Linden Road. I was at the bottom of the driveway with my body partially in the street. I had intended to just be out for a minute, so I hadn't bothered to put on a coat. It was snowing and cool enough to be uncomfortable.

A Mansfield City Schools bus went by without even slowing up as did a passenger car. The third driver approaching stopped to help. She insisted on putting her coat on me. She had her sons help get me off the pavement to sit on a stool my wife had brought down from the house. A trip to the hospital resulted in a diagnosis of a broken ankle.

I am thankful that there are some "Good Samaritans" left. The lady and her sons who helped live close by, but we had not met yet. Jesus told us in the Gospel according to Luke that a neighbor helps someone who is in need. Let's all consider each other neighbors and be ready to help.
